TILE OUAKER BRIDGE DIM.

The taypayers Of New-York have clear
right 10 insist that the Aqucduct Commissioners
shall act in the matter Of the Quaker Bridge
dam with extreme care and elaboration. Here
is an undertaking Of enormous cost and cnor-
nous difficulty the immediate necessity OF
which has never been convincngly dem
onstrated. 1t is proposed to construct dam
larger and lofticr and moro costly than any the
world has ever known, and to make the water
supply Of This metropolis wholly dependent
upon its stability. If ID should give way after
completion the loss of life and property caused
by the tremendous body of water which would
be let loose would be appalling. work OF
such importance and of such extent should he
taken up, if taken up at all, only after the most
exhaustive investigation Of every detail of the
problem. and after preparations and estimates
that leave nothing to chance or TO after dis
covcry.
But the Aqucduct Commissioners appear
ready to involve the city in this mighty en-
terpriSo in jaunty and light-hearted way,
without sufficient fOrcthought or examination.
The two expert engineers in the Commission
differ about the sort Of dam that should be
built. Mr. Barnes holds that it should be
curved. General Newton believes that curved
dam of the kind favored by Mr.. Barnes would
be unsafe, while Mr.. Barnes is not certain that
q straight dam built under the present plans
could lie trusted to resist the pressure of the
vast body of wafer behind it. No more sense
less and criminal fclly could be conceived than
TO spend millions OF dollars on DAM unless all
the best engineering talent available Is unit
on the question Of its safety. If this towering
structure should ever topic over, the name OF
every man who ever had any connection with
lbe scheme would be blackcned and his MEM
DRY eXccraicd.
But it may he entirely possible to build a
dam whose sOundness shall rcassure the dmid
and coufound the sccptica. Yet it would bc
all wrong for the Commission to put this bur
den on the city until its pressing necessity
is so plainly proved as 10 silence criticism, and
tho cost and tho results Of every part OF the
job are so carefully computed that this COM
m,lnity may feel comfortably assured that the
expenditure will not seriously exceed the csti-
mates. Neither branch of this labor has yet
been carried out cxhaustiyely. The outlay
necessary for lands, roads. bridges and for
direct and indirect damages to the
immense area of property affected is still u
vague and uncertain quantity, and requires an,
amount Of research and appraiscment which can
hardly DO satisfactorily finished for years. The
dam itself will require mountainous sums.
Taking all these other elements into account,
the probable expense goes into the millions so
far as to give even the boIdest OF taxpayers
trcm0r.
The experience of other cities whose va.cr
supply Is gathered in one huge reservoir has

"ovER FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS"

A debate on naval affairs in either h0He Of
Congress would not lie complete without the
monumental lie about Republican extravaganza.
IL there be any fiction of a lurid partisan inn
ANIMATION which is dear to the Democratic heart
il is the declaration constantly made there and
repeated by hundreds of party organs that over
500, OOOO 900 has been expended since 1860
in repairing worthless wooden ships by pred
a.oiy Republican Administrations. Senator
Vest this week has varied the performance by
producing the table of appropriations for twcn-
ty years. which has done bravo duty in the
democratic press as a convincing argument OF
Republican incompetcncy and rascaty. Sem
ator Hale promptly exposed the hypocrisy and
dishonesty Of the argument, but he is oversan-
guine il he supposcs that he has disposcd OF
this stale calumny. Next December when the
subject OF naval reconstruction again comes up,
Senator Vest may lie depended upon to produce
the same table and the party press to gloat over
it as a complete, unanswerable exposition oil
Republican corruption.
There is no foundation for the charge 50
often made that 1920, 100000 was expended
from 1865 to 1885 in repairing vessels This
is the aggregate of the naval appropriations
during that period which were available for
the maintenance Of the service and the various
bureaus. As Senator Halo justly remarked,
tho Republican Administration might with
equal proprety he arraigned for extravaganza
in cxpcnding S5OC.OOO,OOO for the army In
twenty years when the country has smaller mil
itary force than 1t then had. The amount actual
y used for repairs in the Navy was S60,OOO,OCo
according to the Senator's own statements but
even if it were $50, 900, it would be COM
parativcly small sum for that purpose-less
than 100000 year. The old ships had
to be constantly repaired-the great point in
favor of steel cruisers is their superior dura-
bity-and the work had to be done because
during twelve out Of the twenty years DEM
ocratic House persisted in blocking every bill
for the construction Of new vessels. Success
sive Republican Administrations had to choose
between repairing the wooden ships and having
no navy at all This is the core Of the whole
matter.

There has been an increase, not In carpcs
wool only as "Thc Free Press implies, but
in clothing wool as well, which no one will
deny directly completes with wool of American
growth. The increase in the imports OF all
wool has been 61,OOO,OOO pounds, nearly 30
per cent In tho latter part Of 1898 wool
rushed into the country to get the benefit Of tho
lower duty was met at first by so great de-
preston in the price of American wool. as farm
els well remember. that much OF 1t remained
unsold and unused until the next year. But
from that time the flood Of imported wool has
risen higher each year, and the number OF
slaughtered sheep has increased.

In tho campaign OF 1884 the Democratic orators
and Journals boiled over with wild charges against
the Republican Administrations. They assured the
peoplo that things were in terrible way, and
that the only chance OF ever getting them back
into the groove OF honesty was by putting the
Democracy in power. The people acted favorably
upon their demand, and gave them the coveted
authority. But not q single. solitary. individual
act of corruption or misgovcrnment have they
revealed. The books. the offices. everything was
nut into their hands, but not q revelation have
they made. Mr.. whitney Thought no had found
the much-talkcd-of mares nest. and went oil ut

their inability 70 point out any one aco OF NAL
